CORONAVIRUS | We will ensure stricter MCO won't cause too much inconvenience for the people, says defence minister.

The National Security Council has proposed more closures and limited operation hours for certain businesses and services, but this will be fine-tuned before it is formally unveiled and enforced, says Defence Minister Ismail Sabri.

"The NSC had proposed for a number of places to be closed down or their operation hours limited but this will involve other ministries. They were only just tabled just now," he told a press conference after chairing a cabinet committee meeting on Covid-19. "For example, in terms of industries, there are many proposed items on the list for closure but we need to discuss with the International Trade and Industry Ministry," Ismail said.

"Likewise, we want vegetable production to continue but that means fertiliser and pesticide shops must also remain open which would end up with too many remaining open. "Whatever decision we will make with the stricter MCO, we will ensure it won't cause too much inconvenience for the people," he said, adding that the stricter guidelines will be announced tomorrow or the day after.

Exactly. Speed up extensive testing. Its been almost 2 weeks

What's needed is more extensive mass testing. Not more extensive curfew rules. What's the point in having more curfew rules if there are no extensive mass testing?

Yes, people need 2 control movement & try to stock up for the 2 weeks. Otherwise the MCO will need to be further extended. However, please make sure food supply chains (e.g. farmers/fishermen), & supply/distribution chains 4 essential services(e.g. Top Glove) are not disrupted.
